Manish brought them their two cokes, and served
them with a towel wrapped around the can, as he poured
the drink into the fashionable glasses. Then he asked
if they had decided and whether he could take their
order for a meal. Manish was smart and stylish, making
him a cut above the rest, not to forget his dynamic
personality and communication skills, the only bad
point he had was that he trusted everyone easily and
also that he considered everyone he met, as simple as
he was.
They answered in the affirmative and he stood
there, beside their table as they flipped through the
pages of the menu. One of the guys, intentionally,
tried to feel Manish's mantool through his pants,
though he later said sorry. Manish didn't mind much
and simply said, "Its okay, sir", and took their
order.
He went into the pantry after they had given him
the order, and after about 15 minutes brought their
food, that they had and left. They left him a good
tip, his first tip in his new job.
Later he got a few more customers, many good tips
and also no gay customers. After 4 p.m., the manager
of the restaurant announced that he restaurant was
going to close for the day as there was a private
party of the owner.
The entire staff was pleased, when he summoned the
waiters in red waistcoats to his room and told them to
report for duty at a given address at 7 p.m. sharp, he
also told them that they would be paid extra for
waiting on in the party. Manish didn't mind the job
and agreed to come and so did the other waiter, who
was a more "experienced" waiter in this respect.
Both of them left, and before leaving, the manager
told them that they could come in casuals, as for that
party they had a separate uniform, that would be
provided to them there at the party's venue itself.
Saying so, he told them to leave and report for
duty at the given venue at the correct time and
freshened up as it would be a rather long party, that
would extend way into the early hours of next day.
Another thing that he told them was, they would be
given a holiday the next day, and that too with pay;
which further delighted the new recruit, Manish.
